Chocolate Turtle Bars Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Cover an 8x8 inch pan with "release" aluminum foil, leaving extra foil on the sides (to remove candy out of the pan after cooling)
• Pour one cup of pecan halves into the pan, spread out evenly.
• Place the Rollo candies over the pecans.
• Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Remove pan from the oven and pour 1 more cup of pecans over the now melted Rollo candies.
• Press the pecans into the Rollos. Set the pan to the side and keep the oven on.
• In a microwave-proof bowl, add the caramels and 1 TB of butter.
• Melt on high for one minute, remove and stir to combine.
• Place back in microwave for 30 seconds.
• Stir well and pour caramel directly over the last layer of pecans.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel evenly.
• Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 5 minutes until the chips look shiny and are beginning to melt.
• Remove pan and spread the chocolate across the surface of the caramel.
• Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chips and using your hands, press them firmly over the warm chocolate.
• Let cool in pan until the chocolate is firm.
• Slice into long bars or into small squares and serve.
• These candies look lovely in clear cellophane bags tied with bows and make a nice food gift. You can freeze these in ziplock bags for months! These are also great for bake sales, potlucks and any family event....
